So far so good. I'd update the review but it's pretty good for learning correct pronunciations through videos of native speaking and also being able to compare our pronunciation with it. however not sure about how accurately AI judges but will see. Overall it's really good app to be used as standalone learning platform however it would be even more better if there were grammar structure explanations like how each verb has it's function in the sentence and so on. Well done umi developers!

Would I recommend it? The short answer is yes, it's a good way to learn as a supplement. On the other hand, it has serious problems. At least on the Japanese course it's very common that the furigana is wrong or just just not there, the whole sentence translations are sometimes wrong, and the clips are sometimes cut in weird places so a syllable is missing. On the other hand, it's really really useful to hear words used in different contexts. So do try it, but be aware it has problems.

I really like the app, and have signed up to keep using it. I love the convenience of having the cards premade and I think that it is great that each word comes with 3x video clips demonstrating the word in context, as these often capture the different meanings of each word. The only constructive feedback that I would give is that I've noticed some clips don't actually use the word in question - though I think this is because the subtitles and the audio don't match in the original content.
